How is Uhura not canon? The show defines canon by definition, by what other source do you define it?

Sorry, not a thing as in no big deal, not as in not present

Wow, that's some pretty weird language I'm not familiar with. But OK I'll agree to that. In fact I'm from Denmark, and I never knew it was a thing until the Internet became a thing. It always seemed perfectly natural to me that she was communications officer.

Yeah I’m a millennial so it was never weird to me either, but this was a show that Martin Luther King Jr was watching. It had the first ever interracial kiss on television. Race relations in America in the 1960s were really bad. I didn’t understand the significance until I learned about why they so consciously had a multiracial cast and why they specifically put women in roles of leadership.
